I feel like with Rory, it's very much why I liked Allison Lanier as recast Summer on Y&R when she started. Often she would be in a scene and had a way of building a whole arc of emotions as she was in the same scene. She really was good at shifting within a scene on a dime and carried the audience with her whether she stayed subdued (but subtle) or dramatic (where the character would explode and be a force of nature). She sold me on her recasting. Shame the writing stopped writing to her strengths.
Michael has every right to his anger as he reminded Chase today. But I just feel Rory does so much more. I was surprised he got angry in the middle of the scene and then pulled back and then went in for the kill with his words. And after that first punch, how Rory played the shift on his face. It was just so great. So much going on in those seconds.
